HealthA 21-year-old Man Who Drank 4 Energy Drinks A Day Hospitalized by xcuggsm(op): 7:17am On Apr 17, 2021
A 21-year-old man who drank 4 energy drinks a day was hospitalized with heart and kidney failure

The man spent more than a week in intensive care, and nearly two months total in the hospital recovering from his energy drink-induced heart and kidney failure.
.
>A 21-year-old man in the UK had to drop out of university after months battling a mysterious illness.
>Doctors found he had heart and kidney failure after drinking four energy drinks daily for two years.
>Caffeine overdose can be life-threatening, with symptoms like breathlessness, nausea, and tremors.
.
A 21-year-old man was hospitalized for
heart failure and kidney failure after drinking more than half a gallon worth of energy drink every day for two years, according to a case study published April 15 in BMJ Case Reports.
.
Although he eventually recovered, the man was initially considered as a candidate for organ transplants, and he spent more than a week in intensive care, and nearly two months total in the hospital.

The patient drank four 500 milliliter cans of energy drink daily, wrote the study authors from St Thomas' Hospital in London.

That's about 640 mg of caffeine a day, well over the recommended safe dosage of 400 mg of caffeine, according to the FDA.
.
"I think there should be more awareness about energy drink and the effect of their contents. I believe they are very addictive and far too accessible to young children," the patient said in the case study report.

For months prior to being hospitalized, he had been suffering symptoms such as tremors, shortness of breath, and indigestion so severe he dropped out of university.

The case highlights the potentially toxic side effects of energy drinks that contain huge doses of caffeine, which can lead to serious and sometimes life-threatening health issues.

Caffeine overdoses can be fatal

Caffeine, the world's most popular psychoactive substance, is safe to use in moderation, helping billions of people get through their day in the form of coffee and tea. It offers health benefits such as improved focus, mood, and energy.

But too much caffeine is risky, with side effects like anxiety, heart palpitations, and low blood pressure. In severe cases, caffeine overdose can lead to unconsciousness and even death. Caffeine overdose has also been linked to metabolic acidosis, a potentially serious build-up of acids in the body that can lead to kidney failure.

More concentrated sources of caffeine are more likely to cause overdose, meaning that energy drinks are riskier than coffee and tea.

Most dangerous, according to case studies, is caffeine powder in supplements for energy, exercise and weight loss

. A scoop of this highly-concentrated powder can contain the caffeine equivalent of 50 cups of coffee or more.

The male companion is heard explaining what happened. He said that when they got to a point along the road, they were asked to make a turn and when they did, the colleagues of the same LASTMA officials who asked them to turn came and stopped them and seized their car.l
.
This is obviously a set up by the evil LASMA officers to extort money from the poor woman..
.
I have experienced such on Marina Street, Lagos Island, a couple of years back. In my own case, I stopped to ask directions from a LASMA officer and he directed me to take a road which was designated a One-Way traffic only for his colleagues who were lying in wait there to arrest me for violating the traffic rule . I settled with N10,000 with plenty of abeg to gain my freedom angry

A woman who is genuinely interested in you would be eager to at least know your place. Not necessarily sleeping there. Imaging, you even asked her to Come with others as an assurance she is safe yet she refused
My brother, its either of two things and both of them have to do with LOVE
1) She has HIV and doesn't want to infect you because SHE LOVES YOU
2)She may be seriously engaged to someone else and is just collecting gifts from you because SHE LOVES THE OTHER GUY and would not want to betray their love for each other
.
Don't be surprised that no one in her family knows your marriage intentions towards her as she must have introduced you as brother Jero a pastor in our church incharge of welfare.

Good luck and God bless you.

Jephson67:
exactly man. the fact that 98% of the people in the thread are saying thank god, na god , thank god for him prooves that this generation of nigerians are dunces
. It is not a scam but a manifestation of the level of occultism some of our rich people have gotten into in their quest to acquire power and wealth. Of course the guy might have died but according to the ritual and occultic rites of the occult body he belonged to, it was not yet his time to die and so he was resurrected.
.
A popular owner of one of the biggest hair dressing saloon chains in Lagos (name withheld) - who incidentally, also hails from Imo state - died in 2019 but the members of the the occult body he belonged to prevented the family from burying the guy for some days in the belief that he will rise again as it was not his appointed time to die.. But unfortunately, he did not rise and he had to be buried eventually.

So don't doubt what you don't know as nothing is impossible!

Our people should continue enjoying BBnaija while the looting, insecurity, corruption, unemployment, deaths, poor infrastructure, poor power and evil govt continue. At the end of the day, we start looking for one man of God to blame for not using church resources to better the lives of the people as if we elected them. This is exactly what our govt wants, they distract the people with programmes like this, while perpetrating one evil or the other. embarassed
BBnaija is a government sponsored 'opium of the masses' that serve to divert the attention of the ever gullible Nigerian youths from the realities of the time.
.
Just at the Wuhan Corona virus was deployed by China to divert the attention of the world while China effectively took control of the world's economy, BBnaija is nothing but an instrument of the government to get the libido driven 'lazy' Nigerian youths focused on oggling big breasts and nyashs while gross mismanagement of the national resources and corruption is being taken to the next level by the government and ministers in Abuja.

Just take a moment to review the timing of the BBnaija season since 2015, you will realise how effective Lai Mohammed has been as the Minister for Communication

He is the son of the famous mathematician Prof. Chike Obi. An erudite and successful financial management expert. He will take Fidelity bank to greater heights. If this is when Nigeria stock exchange was still exciting, I would’ve bought Fidelity bank stuff for a long term trade. But lack of liquidity and government poor financial policies have kept me on the outside of the stock market. He is a win win for the bank and the investors.

Since when has Osinbajo become the Minister of Health? And why can't the Federal Ministry of Health spearhead such an initiative?

Last year he was sent to share N10,000 to traders in the markets - aka Trade Money.

One day they will congratulate him for his expertise in speaking grammar and organising labourers to cut the lawn at Aso Villa.
